2 1 Introduction Thank you for purchasing GE-2000N Gigabit Network Interface Card. This Installation Guide contains information about the installation and configuration of GE-2000N Network Interface Card (NIC). GE-2000N is a 32/64-bit high-performance 1000BASE-TX 64-bit PCI bus adapter. It can be easily implemented in any IBM PC/AT and is fully compatible with 64-bit PCI bus master slot. GE-2000N fully supports PCI 2.2 specification to provide ACPI power management function. It also supports Remote Wake-Up function. GE-2000N operates automatically at 10/100/1000Mbps transmission speed, depending on the speed of the network device connected. Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Bus Overview The Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) local bus is a high-performance 32/64-bit bus that dramatically increases the speed of I/O-bound peripherals by directly connecting these devices to the CPU local bus. The PCI bus is intended to be used as an interconnecting mechanism among highly integrated peripheral controller components, peripheral add-on cards, and processor/cache/memory subsystem. It is an industry-standard local bus architecture that provides end-users with high-performance and ease of use without requiring high cost. PCI is CPU-independent and can optimize I/O function and accommodate multiple high-performance peripherals such as LAN, SCSI, and Graphic devices. It enables concurrent operation of the local bus with the processor/cache/memory subsystem. The following PCI block diagram shows a typical PCI local bus system architecture:

3 The processor/cache/memory subsystem connects the PCI local bus through a PCI bridge. This bridge supports a low latency path through the processor, and may directly access PCI devices mapped anywhere in the memory or I/O address spaces. It also provides a high bandwidth path that allows PCI masters to directly access the main memory. Product Description GE-2000N is a 32/64-bit PCI Gigabit Ethernet network interface card. It is designed for use on computers with 64-bit PCI bus slots. GE-2000N runs in bus master mode, directly sending/receiving Ethernet packets to/from memory. The PCI bus master device is an intelligent device that can conduct processing independent of the bus or other devices. It coordinates the sharing of the bus between the main processor and target devices. Bus mastering allows a peripheral device to take control of the system bus instead of only relying on the central processor. GE-2000N complies with the IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE802.3x Full Duplex Flow Control and PCI Local Bus version 2.2, and transmit data to the network at 10/100/1000Mbps. GE-2000N can also operates in full-duplex mode to double the network speed up to 20/200/2000Mbps when working with a Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet Switch. It is the fastest Ethernet design of its kind. GE-2000N provides one RJ-45 port for connection with 10BASE-T Ethernet/100BASE- TX/1000BASE-TX Gigabit Ethernet network, and automatically senses the connection type. GE-2000N also supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration Power Management Interface) and PCI power management for advanced operating systems that are capable of OSPM (Operating System Directed Power Management) to achieve most efficient power management. The following figure shows the board layout of GE-2000N network interface card: 3

4 Remote Wake-up Support Figure 1-1: The GE-2000N Gigabit Network Interface Card GE-2000N Network Interface Card provides a Remote Wake-Up feature that, when combined with other remote control function, allows users to remotely wake up machine during off hours to perform maintenance activities through network. The system can be woken up from a sleeping state to a full-powered state over the network. Once the system is awake, it can be directed to run utilities and then return to sleeping mode again. If installed in a PC that supports Remote Wake-Up through the 64-bit PCI bus, GE-2000N can still feed on an alternate power source even when system is in power-off state, thus making an all-time network monitoring. When in such a sleeping state, once a wake-up packet arrives, it will be alerted and wake the system up to a full-powered state, ready to perform maintenance tasks or others. Auto-Negotiation Support GE-2000N is compliant with Nway auto-negotiation standard to automatically run at different transmission speeds and modes that the connected hub supports. It detects the modes that are currently running on the device on the other end, and announces its own ability to automatically configure the highest performance mode possible for this connection. If supported on both ends of the connection, auto-negotiation process is initiated to negotiate for one of the following modes: 2000Mbps/FDX 1000Mbps/HDX 200 Mbps/FDX 100 Mbps/HDX 4

ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is a power management concept introduced by Intel, Toshiba and Microsoft in It is an open industry standard, which includes PC hardware, Operating System and peripheral device interface specifications. ACPI is one further step away from the previous time-based power management system, which often turns off peripherals at most inopportune moments without taking any potential needs into management considerations. Conversely, ACPI is a demand-based power management endeavor. It allows the collection of power consumption information from the entire system and gives complete control of device activity to the Operating System. Thus, ACPI enables the computer to provide power only to those devices that need it and at the time when they need it with the help of OS. Operating within a ACPI-enabled environment, GE-2000N Gigabit Network Interface Card can take full advantage of its superior power management feature to perform Remote Wake-up function in Power Down mode. This will contribute, together with your ACPI-compatible OS (such as Windows 98 or Windows 2000) to a most economical PC power consumption. 5

6 According to the definition of ACPI, there are four Global System States that are identified as the following 4 levels: G0: normal operating state G1: power-saving sleeping mode where the display and HD are shut down to save power consumption. A trigger event will recover the power-saving state to normal state. G2: Power Down mode with minimum power consumption. The minimum power is to offer the Wake-Up device such as GE-2000N to activate and reboot the system from a cold start. The Wake-Up On LAN NIC such as GE-2000N works at this level. G3: The system is turned off by power switch. The power switch must be turned ON to activate the system. While the system is in Power Down mode, GE-2000N is still on the alert. Once a Magic Packet addressed to the client computer is received by its Wake- UP device ID such as GE-2000N NIC, it will trigger a sequence of events to wake up the remote computer from sleeping state. While there might still be other legacy systems which are not compatible with ACPI, you might still preserve its original power saving feature if your system components allowing it. But we will see a gradual migration to all ACPI features in PC system. In order to fully benefit from the advantages of ACPI power management, not only your PC has to be ACPI-compatible but also your Operating System. However, an ACPI-compatible Operating System running on a non-acpi-compatible system might not give any benefits from the OS-directed Power Management, since all power management will be restricted within BIOS. The migration to ACPI power management is now accelerating to a full speed in the PC industry. Systems using ACPI are already on the market and we will see more in the near future. Since Microsoft Windows 98 and the recent release of Windows 2000 are fully ACPI-compatible and will incorporate OSPM (Operating System Directed Power Management), ACPI will become a dominant Power Management standard very soon.

7 2 Hardware Installation This chapter will guide you through the installation of GE-2000N on your computer. First, you must install the NIC on your system. Finally, you must correctly connect and configure your network before the NIC can properly function within your network. Quick Installation Basically, the NIC installation involves the following steps: Step 1. Insert the network interface card into a 64-bit PCI master slot on your PC motherboard. Step 2. Use a twisted-pair cable to connect the Gigabit port on the NIC to a Gigabit Switch. Step 3. Configure your Network (Cable Connection Examples.) The details of each step will be described in subsequent sections. Since GE- 2000N is a PCI-bus device, you will no longer need to configure this device after installation. The system will automatically allocate its resources such as I/O base address and IRQ at boot time. Simply follow the steps mentioned previously and leave the system to configure for you automatically. Step 1. Insert the network interface card into 64-bit PCI master slot on your PC motherboard. Follow the procedure below to install GE-2000N on your 64-bit PCI slot. 1. Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet. 2. Remove the computer cover. 3. Insert the NIC into an available 64-bit PCI expansion slot. Note: A 64-bit PCI slot should be similar to one shown in Fig If you do not know how to identify a 64-BIT PCI slot on your system, please check your PC user manual or ask your system administrator. Make sure the NIC is inserted firmly in the 64-BIT PCI bus-mastering slot. 4. Secure the NIC in the slot with a bracket screw. 5. Replace the computer cover. 6. If you want to insert another NIC into your system, repeat steps Turn on the system power. 7

8 Fig. 2-1 Insert the Gigabit NIC into the 64-bit PCI slot. Notes: Make sure that the PCI machine does support master slots, INT multiple sharing and timing compatibility. Do not install GE-2000N in a PCI slave slot. Please refer to your PCI system manual and select the appropriate configuration settings. When installing multiple GE-2000N adapters at one server, you should configure INT settings of the 64-bit PCI slots correctly. Each GE- 2000N s IRQ should not conflict with that of the other adapters installed. Step 2. Use a twisted-pair cable to connect the Gigabit port on the NIC to a Gigabit Switch. You must connect the NIC to the network before installing the network driver. To connect the GE-2000N NIC to the network cable, follow these steps: 1. Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 Gigabit port on GE-2000N NIC, as shown in Fig Connect the other end of the network cable to a 10BASE-T or a 100BASE-TX network port. 3. Check the LEDs, as shown in Fig. 3-1a, Fig. 3-1b. After installation of the network card, and you are now ready to install the network driver. 8

9 Fig.2-2 Connecting the Network Cable to the RJ-45 Gigabit Port. Please See Chapter 3 for more LED information. Step 3. Configure your Network (Cable Connection Examples) The NIC provides one RJ-45 Gigabit port for connecting to 10/100/1000BASE-TX Fast Ethernet network. The NIC will automatically sense the transmission mode of the connection. For a detailed description of the connection type, please refer to the followings: Connecting to 1000BASE-TX Gigabit Ethernet Network To connect the Gigabit NIC to a 10/100/1000BASE-TX Gigabit Ethernet network, you need a twisted-pair Category 5 cable with RJ-45 connectors. The connection distance is up to 100 meters maximum. Follow the steps below to connect to Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet network: 1. Plug one end of the cable into the RJ-45 Gigabit port of the NIC. 2. Plug the other end of the cable into a Gigabit port of a Gigabit Ethernet Switch (such as Ether-FSH24G) or a high-performance server with a gigabit RJ-45 port. Fig. 2-3 Connecting the Gigabit NIC to the Gigabit Switch. 9

10 Correct Network Cable (STP/UTP) Requirements 100/1000 Mbps network must be shielded twisted-pair (STP) or Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable. Do not use Category 3,4 cable for 100 Mbps network operation, it could cause data loss. Category 3 or 4 cable is good for 10Mbps network only. Category 5 cable is also good for 10Mbps operation. If all network uses UTP Category 5 cable, you may have the versatility to operate the network at either 100Mbps or 10Mbps speed without recabling your network due to cable category grade concern. Depending on building codes, different insulation materials may be required. Plenum-rated or TEFLON-coated wiring may be required in some areas. The wire gauge should be between 18 and 26 AWG. (Most telephone installations use 24-gauge wiring.) UTP wire should meet the following requirements : o Solid copper o Nominal capacitance : less than 16 pf/ft o Nominal impedance : 100 Ohms o Nominal attenuation : less than 11.5db. 10/100 Auto-negotiation (NWay) GE-2000N NIC automatically runs at appropriate speed, depending on the network device to which it is connected. It does this using NWay, a feature that complies with the IEEE802.3 standard. It also works with any of other IEEE-compliant products, including 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-TX equipments. 10

11 3 LED Indicators GE-2000N comes with six LED indicators on the backplane of the adapter. LED indicators inform you about the network status as shown in the Fig If you experience any problem with the adapter, first check the followings: the appropriate driver is loaded the proper cable is connected to the RJ-45 port of the adapter the switch should complies with the 10/100/1000BASE-TX specifications. You should make sure that all the above requirements are met, then check the LEDs again to make sure the connection is valid and working. LED indicators of GE-2000N The NIC supports full duplex at 10/100/1000BASE-TX. If the switch supports NWay feature and full duplex, the GE-2000N NIC automatically runs in full duplex. If there is a problem with the connection, first check the network cable for possible breach. If that does not resolve the problem, try to replace the cable.
